The gorgeous ocean view (generously sprinkled with dolphins) from the large deck and wall of windows make a stay in this home very special. Located in a lovely neighborhood, we enjoyed using the home’s large kitchen and gas grill (who needs to go out to dinner with a view like that). There are multiple spaces for dining, playing cards and spending time together. The owner (who is local) was very responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week.

How lucky am I? I got to spend a week in this beautiful home in this beautiful location. The water is warm and the beach is clean! Bird-watching! Dolphin-watching! Cruise ships in the distance! A lifeguard right in front of the house! I'd say I'm pretty darn lucky! Your family is worth it.

This property is indescribably wonderful. Location, location, location. Why does anyone go to the beach? For the beach! It's a short walk to the beach with a lifeguard posted directly in the front of the house, can't get better than that!

Home has everything needed. Pillows were all new. Beds comfy. There are even spices in the kitchen in case someone would want to cook. Appliances galore in the kitchen: slow cooker, pots and pans, tea kettle.

Easily accessible. Clean. Great neighborhood for walking. Beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, outside shower to clean up before heading back inside. Outdoor gas grill. Owners really want you to enjoy your stay and will respond to any questions about VA Beach.

We have had the pleasure of staying in this awesome home for 4 years in a row. Every September our book club gets together to relax and to enjoy this oceanfront retreat. With two large dining tables we are all able to eat together and keep the other for doing puzzles and crafts. The beach is not crowded so you feel like its a secret that not many people know about. The house is large enough that all 9 of us fit comfortably and don't feel like we are on top of each other. We love the elevator because we load all of our stuff in and it takes it right to our floor. No lugging bags and groceries in this house. The best part? The views of course! I think the owner must hire dolphins to swim by every hour because it is amazing how many we get to see. Already looking forward to September 2016.

Great Views-House is in need of repairs

1/5

Stayed Aug 2015

When we saw pictures online, we thought WOW. However when we got there, we were very disappointed with the house. The views are great and so is the beach. This house is not kid friendly. The owners had very offensive framed notes from prior renters that were visible to my kids. When I reached out to the owners about these letters their response was,"its advertised as a executive retreat... not necessarily child friendly" They did apologize for the letters, but a decent person wouldn't have them framed and put where future renters could see. There was no air in the one bedroom, my kids had to use fans and keep the door open to keep cool. I did contact owners and they knew about the issue and they were aware of it, but failed to inform me. The owners clearly do NOT take pride in their home. Here are a list of issues: No air in one bedroom, tiles lifting in many parts of the house, paint chipped in several parts of home, broken window held up by tape, one window air conditioner had dust and dirt hanging out of front of it, air conditioner not professionally installed(you could see the outside around air conditioner) broken kitchen cabinet, holes in ceiling, ceiling lights hanging, dead bird in elevator shaft,

The garage cannot be used, because they have nasty moldy carpeting, oh and that's is where the washing machine and dryer are. The one jetted tub doesn't work, when we advised owners their response was use the outside hot tub.. the upstairs master bedroom wasn't very private at all.. their wet bar consist of a sink with cabinets in the corner of the room.. at one point they must have had a major water leak on roof. ceiling in many areas still shows signs of this. Windows too had signs of leakage, but were never fixed. The area leading up to the roof was very dirty, even though we were not allowed to go up to roof we could see the mud and webs through the glass doors. House is very open and we had to use the large fans to move air around to keep cool, fans were very loud and hard to hear each other speak at times. The Lights in dining room off of kitchen, looks like dried nicotine on them. Decking is in desperate need of repair. some outside furniture was broken and left there for someone to use. This house needs to be fixed up.....

Owner's Response:

Oh Felicia - I knew this was coming. I apologized numerous times about the "wall of shame" we leave in the laundry area - from long ago tenants at other rentals- most everyone wants to know how to get on it - sorry your 10 year daughters were doing laundry the second day and saw it. The air conditioning system went down this summer and we had to make emergency repairs - the house temperature was at 69 degree's so not sure how much coolder you needed it. The broken window was hit by a pelican - we called the glass company and they taped it so there would be no danger - we ordered but they have to install scaffolding as its 25 feet in the air - they cannot do it in the 4 hour time frame we have avaiable on Saturdays. The roof was leaking - we had it repaired but again no time for painting - this will all be done over the winter months - The outside takes a real beating from the salt air - did you like the new outdoor furniture? new gas grill? new carpet throughout? nice furnishings? big screen TV's - bose radio? As you said the views and the beach are the best - we are a beach house and hate to say not as perfect as your own home. Not sure what else you need in a wet bar - looked like it was well used...You did not tell me about the other items - I would have gladly sent the maids back - but I did not know. There is no smoking in the house so not sure what you mean about the lights. You called me 10 minutes after check in and I offered to refund your money but you said no. Not sure what else I could have done to make you happy . Sorry you are so unhappy. We want to make everyone's vacation enjoyable and we try very hard at it. The tenants before and after you gave it rave reviews. Sorry you are unhappy..

A solid rental, but probably wouldn't stay here again.

The positives of this house: It's a fun and interesting house, with an elevator, winding staircases, and unique layout. It's right on the beach and there is a lifeguard stand right in front of the house. It's very easy to get to all the restaurants and shops of VA Beach. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet. The owner/rental agent is very friendly and easy to work with. The place comes w/two boogie boards and a beach wagon (no beach chairs or toys though.) This is one of the few places in VA Beach that let's you rent outside of the typical Sat to Sat schedule.

The negatives: The place could use a thorough deep cleaning. There was an underlining "ick" factor to certain areas. The 2nd floor w/two of the bedrooms was so dusty. There were huge cobwebs hanging off the ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms, and it seems like none of the statues or tables in that hallway had been dusted in awhile. You have to provide your own bedding and towels. (Easily done through a local rental agent though). However, this gives you the opportunity to see how yellow and stained the pillows are as you're putting the pillowcases on, and that is a nasty thought as you lay your head down to sleep. The white carpet in the master bedroom is heavily stained in one area. The place has a bit of a neglected, rental feel- although you can still see how grand it was in it's prime. The kitchen really needs more bowls (I think there were only 2.)

Owner's Response:

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and just want to respond to all of your comments - the house is a beauty - your stay was the last one of the busiest season and a thorough cleaning has been done-we surely would have sent the maids back had we known your concerns - the carpet stain in the master BR was from a storm 2 weeks earlier - we have since put new carpet and pillows in. I wish you would have called about the beach chairs, umbrella's and toys - they are all in the closet off the oceanside deck - Also found all the bowls in the wrong kitchen cabinet - I have since labeled all cabinets so that everything can be found more easily. I will always respond to what is needed right away as long as I know about it - we are local and want you to have everything you need to make sure your vacation is the best it can be - please come again!

Location

Croatan Beach, Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA

Croatan Beach is just south of the boardwalk and resort - It's a quiet neighborhood - so over the bridge when you want to get in the mix - or stay on the quiet beach - no parking on street at night -
